A guy who stole about $50 worth of merchandise despite making hundreds of thousands of dollars is a flakey idiot?

I'm shocked.

If we were healthy I think we could get by with average to slightly above average production from the RB's, and probably win the division at around 10-6, but the arrogance that the front office showed by doing literally nothing to address the position is mind-boggling. If they are serious about winning a title next year they must add real talent at RB. Romo isn't Brady and Garrett certainly isn't Belichick, the coaching staff is not smart enough to scheme around not having a RB like the Patriots are.

Even the patriots had Corey Dillon for a few years and they've brought in Blount now so it's not like they've completely ignored the position. They find talent back there.

Meanwhile Randle...he's just not good.

So, what's the scoop on Dunbar? I've been out of pocket today.

The running game is a big problem as well. It would help a bad QB so much if defenses worried at all about the running game.

As expected, the running game has been very hit or miss.

Many of us have been bringing the issue up for months that the running game would struggle to maintain consistency w/o a good runner in place.

Nbc sports is saying likely done for season with knee injury. Nothing more specific yet.

Actually that's NBC quoting Archer.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He's just a bonehead.

Absolutely.

And Randle is pretty dumb, too.

The defense was underwhelming yesterday but I can't let Weeden off the hook for that shitty performance. He still gets a huge chunk of the blame, IMO. I'd argue the lion's share.

Aside from that 2 minute TD drive to tie the game, he was largely ineffective.

His pocket awareness is severely lacking. Most of the sacks that he took were his own fault.

A lot of time it looks as if things are moving too fast for him , like he's a rookie QB struggling to process the information. A 4th year QB should not be struggling with the speed of the game.

He panics in the pocket. He has his entire career. It's really hard to watch.

Why couldn't it have been McFadden?

If we can get the D fixed we can win some games with Weeden playing like he did yesterday.

 

[Rev]

Ohhh now your are going to look....

 

[townsend]

At this point McFadden has earned the role of lead back, I think C-Mike should be included more in red zone packages, and Randle should be used as a 3rd down scat back receiver role where Dunbar used to be.

 

[VA Cowboy]

You know it's bad when McFadden is the best you have.

 

[1bigfan13]

History says he'll be going down with an injury within the next month.

Amazing that everyone saw this coming except for the people responsible for making the personnel decisions.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I just really hope they give Michael a chance.
